towel with which the parts are dried. The parts are 

 then rubbed with the dry hand until well reddened. 

 The towel is applied in a similar way, first to one arm 

 and then to the other, then to the legs. The patient 

 now turns over, and an application is made to the back 

 and then to the back side of the legs. The head is 

 cooled before the beginning of the bath, and care is 

 taken to keep the patient well covered, with the excep-

The Morning Bath. —An excellent way to take a 

 tonic morning bath is the following: Close the waste 

 of the bath tub and open the cold-water faucet. Stand-

 chest with cold water for half a minute. By this time 

 there will be two or three inches of water in the tub. 

 Step into the tub, rub one foot with the other alter-

 with the legs extended, so that the feet receive the cold

 hands in the water, rub the chest and sides while count- 

 ing ten. Rub the legs again and then lie down in the 

 water and rub the sides, crossing the arms in front of 

 the body while counting ten. If not accustomed to cold 

 bathing, it is best to rise immediately now and leave 

 the bath. On leaving the bath, the bather should cover 

 himself with a sheet, better a Turkish sheet, and quickly 

 rub the whole surface of the body, so as to start a re- 

 action. Continue rubbing hard with the sheet, or first 

 with the sheet and then with a rough towel, until the 

 whole surface of the body glows. Rub the back by 

 means of a see-saw movement with a towel grasped at 

 each end. Be sure to dry every part thoroughly. Dress
